Annual Festival To Milk Every Source Of Fun

May 12, 1997|By Michele K. Mellor.

Harvard will celebrate its 56th annual Milk Days on June 6 through 8 with parades, a carnival, craft fair, prince and princess contests, talent show, cattle show, horse show, bed races, milk runs of 2 miles and 10 kilometers, and an "Avenue of Displays" tent, featuring local business.

"The theme is `Kids, Cows and Country--Milk Days '97,' " says Milk Days secretary Wanda Marzahl.

Local resident Bill Davidson will be this years' parade grand marshal. "He has been our cattle show chairman for a number of years, involved with children in 4-H and is a farmer--he really fits the theme!" explains Marzahl.

Anyone interested in renting a booth or competing in an event should contact the Milk Days Office at 201 W. Front St. or call 815-943-4614 for details.
